What a difference a week makes

I just got back from a very rainy swim meet. Outdoor meet, that is! Believe it or not, though, it was a fun time! And #1 Son swam really well, with a couple of personal bests.

But last week this time, I was sailing San Francisco Bay with my family on a friend's boat. It was a perfect day, the opening of the Maritime Season, and I promised you some pics!

The Golden Gate Bridge in the distance, as we sailed past Alcatraz (not in the picture).A little closer here; you can see the outline of Fort Point on the left under the bridge.The San Francisco skyline. It was too hazy to pick out much detail as this was looking back towards the sun.Me, coming out of the companionway.A giant container ship we saw unloading at the Port of Oakland and then heading back out to Tokyo.The Bay Bridge.The base of one of the Bay Bridge towers. Bear with me here. I am a total geek about bridges, so I took a bunch of shots going under the bridge.Underneath the Bay Bridge.More underneath the bridge.The tower as we passed out the other side.This was such an incredible day! And I'm so glad to have some pictures of it, because I don't have anything knitting-, crochet- or bead-related that I can divulge on my blog! Soon, though. :)

Back to the second day of the swim meet tomorrow. More wind and rain expected. :sigh:

About Me

I've always loved being crafty, but never imagined I could be lucky enough to do it for a living until I started Designs by Romi in 2005 after getting hooked on lace knitting. Things grew from there, and these days I'm teaching and designing knitwear - especially shawls! - as well. I owe the internet knitting community a debt of gratitude for making it possible for me to fondle yarn, fiber and beads incessantly, and not feel guilty about it!
